uh, no.

This may be a stupid question...but me and a lot of my friends have been discussing this. Now don't get me wrong we are die hard Alice fans we just wonder one thing. Alice is getting older now and he's a rock legend. Why is he still playing in the theatres and small venues? I mean Alice Cooper is a...

nope, no images. just good old fashion stage lights.

All four that I went to. Perhaps you are taking my usage of the word "video" too literally. What they had was moving images reflecting off of the backdrop behind the drums. I'm sure this can be done with simple lighting and gels, or with video projection. I didn't ask any of the crew what type of t...

SKULLBOY wrote:Kind of odd that it was there, then.

what show(s) did you see this? every show i've seen have used simple stage lighting, nothing more.

alice doing a magic screen again would be great, but they take up a lot of real estate.

as i already posted to the Sickthings2 mailing list, orianthi is a well-versed guitar player. her technical abilities are far better than most who have toured with alice. i'd rather see her than kk. sorry kk.

if it's an official item, then it's not a bootleg.

that was my thought. he did wear the mirrored tux during nmmng.

SKULLBOY wrote:They played it at the beginning and end in KC on May 8th.

correct. i should have stated that it had not been played twice (to my memory) before casper, wyoming. i still don't recall it being played twice in casper. and that is a song one would remember.

it's also possible they weren't for sale at your particular show(s).

i don't believe it has ever been played twice this tour. i think skullboy was mistaken.

That`s pretty much correct. The vocals are generally only coming from the PA system, and being at the barrier often means the sound from the PA passes behind you. Add that to the fact that all the other instruments ARE coming straight at you from the stage amps and it means Alice's vocals are very ...

HORRORHOLIC wrote:Does anyone know if they are selling posters of this ?

They were selling these posters at the show itself. About $15.

$50 autographed by alice and rob.

i didn't hear a second school's out.

zombie and band practiced school's out that day during sound check and decided to play it literally at the last minute. and yes, it was the first time they had played it live.

That's fine. I just don`t think they should include early admission. i know. and i'm genuinely interested in your opinion. not trying to be argumentative. With respect, I don`t think anyone has said that. not in this thread, but it does seem to be the mind-set of several 'die-hard' fans online. not...

you wouldn't be the first, and you wouldn't be the last.

If the ticket price isn`t included in the VIP, the VIP price would be cheaper anyway (as obviously it would be safe to say anyone getting a VIP would also be buying a ticket). the vip packages don't come with tickets. they are UPGRADE packages. You wouldn`t charge the same amount for a VIP WITH a t...

so.... flash pots aren't considered theatrics to you?

MacQueen wrote:I definitely didn't like the comment about Alice not meaning much nowadays

well, it's completely true.

MacQueen wrote:when in certain circles the same can be said for Kiss.

they are more relevant than alice right now. especially gene himself. kiss still sells more albums, concert tickets and merch.
